Subtract s1 to both sides to get L+s1=s2
Answer: If he has 3 mystery books, and those are 1/8 of his whole collection, he has 24 books.
Step-by-step explanation:
3 = 1/8 × x
multiply both sides by the reciprocal of 1/8 which is 8/1 ("flipped fraction")
8 × 3 = 8/1(1/8) x <em>When you multiply a fraction by its reciprocal, it produces 1, so it "cancels" in the multiplication</em>
<em>24 = x </em>
<em>This may seem complicated, but understanding the process will help you solve more complicated questions like this in the future, I hope.</em>

Answer:
269
Step-by-step explanation:
By the order of operations, you first do the multiplication, then you can do the addition and subtraction
7+5+264-7
12+264-7
276-7
269
So their age can be no more than 22. And Martin is 6 years younger, which means you subtract.
22 ≥ x + x - 6
